[Estimated_Prophet]

I can't decide. Ivan the terrible or Demigod.

I vote neither and wait for his teammates to give him one......I get a little crusty over fan generated nick names lol.

I'll go back to yelling at clouds now

 

[BehindTheTimes]

1-Ivan
2-Reinbacher
3-Mailloux
4-Roy
5-Fowler
6-Hage
7-Beck
8-Kapanen
9-Engstrom
10-Florian


HM : Lane Hutson, Filip Mesar

I’m amazed after just 2 nhl games from Hutson he hasn’t shown you that he’s at least as good as 2/3 of your list.

 

[Riggins]

1. Demidov
2. Reinbacher
3. Hutson
4. Mailloux
5. Roy
6. Hage
7. Fowler

[HuGo Burner Acc]

Im gonna give tiers

Tier S
-Demidov

Tier A
-Hutson
-Reinbacher

Tier B
-Mailloux
-Hage
-Fowler
-Roy

Tier C
-Beck
-Engstrom
-Kapanen

Tier S is superstar potential. Tier A is star potential. Tier B is top 6/4 potential. Tier C is third line/bottom pair anchor potential.

 

[Draft]

I think we’d fall somewhere in the top-5 league wide.

The top 3 prospects are exceptional - each looking like they’ll be impact players in the NHL with the potential for true offensive stars in Demidov and Hutson and an all-minutes top pairing RD in Reinbacher.

4-6 have very clear NHL upside and the potential to play at the top of a lineup or as a starting goalie.

7-10 have clear routes to the NHL and defined roles to excel in. Each of them are on track to deliver as second pairing or middle-6 players.

The rest of the pool (11-20) is where we really stand out though. Absolutely exceptional depth that would rival some of our top-10s in previous years. There’s size, grit, skill, late bloomers, national team and pro players, guys at all different stages of development, and just a lot to like.

1. Demidov
2. Hutson
3. Reinbacher
4. Hage
5. Fowler
6. Mailloux
7. Roy
8. Beck
9. Engstrom
10. Kapanen

i did my ranking in term that wich player I wouldnt like to trade first. So it build that kind Of ranking

 

[malcb33]

Demidov certainly amplifies what was already a good pool.

It's an exciting time to be a Habs fan when the guy who just won the Memorial Cup MVP is ranked somewhere between 7-10 on most prospect lists.

 

[montreal]

It mean nothing? How many chance did Yakupov got before GM give up on him? Ranking does matter. Yakupov has still the best prospect until he started to play in the NHL. You are free to do all the prospect ranking you want to do.

All I said has that until Reinbacher play 2 full seasons in the NHL. I will still put him above Hutson in the ranking. Scout can make mistake. The chance of making a mistake is still lower in the top 10 vs second round pick.

Correct it means nothing at all. Rankings do not matter, not one bit. How can they?

The point wasn't really about if Yakupov was their best prospect or not, the point is he was a 1st OA who ended up one of the biggest busts in NHL history yet by your logic because he was picked higher he should be ranked higher when in fact rankings should have nothing to do with where you were picked.

 

[Skip Bayless]

I’m amazed ---

Then stay amazed.

 

[DramaticGloveSave]

Definitely a sexy group, we’ve gotta be top 5 in the league.

 

[FrankMTL]

Everyone jumping on @FrankMTL for his premature post when it didn’t even matter.

Bunch of lousy pr*cks

It wasn't even premature, we were picking 70th. I mean unless we made a trade up, I figured that nobody picked in that position would bump somebody out of the Top 10. I mean this isn't the early 2010's prospect list.

 

[Captain Mountain]

1- Demidov
2- Reinbacher
3- Hutson
4- Roy (he has less than 25 NHL games and isn't a roster lock, so I'm not considering him graduated)
5- Beck
6- Mailloux
7- Hage
8- Fowler
9- Engstrom
10- Kapanen

[Picaroon]

I know we overrate our prospects but it's crazy that you can go 10-12 deep and still have guys who seem like certain NHLers. Can't remember a prospect pool even close to this in my lifetime. Need to start making room for these guys.

[BJCOLLINS]

No matter how you position the list it looks great with Demidov on top.

 

[SwiftyHab]

Do we have any Criteria for what’s considered a prospect?

 

[ForeverHabs97]

we're so far away from the days where we felt good about like 1-3 prospects at having a chance (2012-2020 drafts)

god the ptsd is so strong

not all are gonna become legit NHLers but there's something positive we're seeing so far with hutson and slaf etc.

Agreed about the PTSD. The words "Omaha Lancers" and "Minnesota High School" caused instant thousand mile stare for many
